Herb Butter

I made this with leftover parsley I had, and it is a lot of fun to have at the dinner table. You can use any herbs you want, but keep in mind that if you use stronger herbs you might want to use less of it. We usually get a baguette or other crusty bread, sliced, placed on a baking sheet, and baked at 425 degrees until slightly toasted (you can drizzle olive oil on the bread before toasting but it isn't necessary). We usually spread the butter on the bread and top with a good cheese, such as Havarti. It's a great late night snack!

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup chopped herbs, such as parsley, rosemary, basil, or a mixture of your favorites
1-2 tsp minced garlic (depends on your love of garlic)

Mix all the ingredients together with egg beaters in a small bowl. Spoon the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a log-shape. Wrap in the plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator. This would be great on sandwiches, crackers, or melted over veggies, mashed potatoes, or meat. It's so versitile and you can make it ahead for whatever!
